When does GSB start sending out their interview invites? Is it after HBS?
The official email said:
"21 September 2016: Round 1 Deadline
Beginning on deadline day, the MBA Admissions Office prepares applications for review and distributes them to members of our team to read. Over the subsequent weeks, we review applications and decide which candidates will move to the next stage.
17 October through 16 November 2016: Interview Invitations
During this period, we will extend interview invitations daily via email. Interviews are by invitation only, and an interview is required for admission. We hope to interview roughly 1,000 applicants this application year.
If you are invited to interview, you will receive that invitation between 17 October and 16 November. If you have not received an interview invitation by 16 November, you will not be interviewed in this round.
16 November 2016: Application Status Update
On 16 November, you may log in to your online application for an update on the status of your application. At this stage, there will be three possibilities:
You have already been invited to interview, and will receive a final decision on 15 December. On 15 December you will find out if you will be admitted, denied, or offered a spot in the waitpool.
You were not selected for an interview, and your application is denied. This decision is final.
You are being offered a spot in the waitpool with the possibility of being invited to interview at a future date.
15 December 2016: Decision Notification Date
All official decisions will be released and available when you log in to your online application.
Rest assured there is nothing more you need to do to get our attention or improve your chances for an interview; your application speaks for itself. Out of fairness to all applicants, we don't consider information submitted after the application deadline."
